Projects

The E-MOSION AAL project aims at enabling integral outdoor and indoor localization and mobility services for elderly people with  age-related  sensory  (visual,  auditory)  and  cognitive  (memory)  impairments  that  help  them  in  their  daily routine activities far from home. Special attention is given to key activities for their autonomous living (e.g. shopping, banking) and with a particular societal benefit (e.g. accompanying  grandchildren); procuring active and convenient engagement of all relevant stakeholders (relatives, health-social-security services, establishments).

The aim of the Smart Contextual Services (SmaCs) project is to provide contextual services to people in various environments and use cases. Networked sensors and lighting elements in combination with users’ body-area networks are used in indoor retail environments. The project addresses new embedded intelligence design patterns and their translation to business models.

The SBIR project CareBOX develops a plug & use monitoring and prevention system, based on intelligent wireless sensors. The system is intended for seniors with a loss of cognitive ability to live at home independently for a longer time.

The objective of IS-ACTIVE is to devise a person-centric healthcare solution for patients with chronic conditions – especially elderly people – based on the recent advances in wireless inertial sensing systems. Results are to be validated through field trials involving patients suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which became the fourth cause of death worldwide.
